Good morning, Camden Chatters.
These are words we haven’t said about the Orioles in a long time, but...the international signings just keep pouring in.
After the O’s pounced for 24 signings — including a team-record $1.7 million bonus for outfielder Braylin Tavera — when the signing period opened Saturday, they’ve continued to stay busy on the international front. Yesterday, Baseball America’s Ben Badler reported on three more Orioles signings, all from the Dominican Republic: right-hander Ronal Herrera, outfielder Juan Martinez, and right-hander Miguel Mesa.
That brings the Orioles’ current signings total to 27, one of the highest totals of any team (by my count, only the Dodgers and Marlins have signed more so far, per BA’s signings tracker).
